Notes: My name is Andrew Williams, and i am 15 years old. I am
interested in the fields of electronics, robotics, and
mechanical engineering.I have also had experience with
pyrotechnics. I am kind of experienced in the first two,
and very experienced in the last,but i'm just discovering
the third one.
I have a great enthusiasm for robotics, and anything
involving my hands, but with a low budget, it's pretty
tough to buy things from on-line vendors, so i would like
information on hacks,free stuff, or anything that could be
made out of something else.

today, i began construction on a robot...not a line
follower, as you would think from my past entries, but
the :Herbie: schematic... It has come along nicely, and
finally,IT WORKS! i made a reverse circuit,(to switch from
photovore to photophobe) and i'm thinking of looking more
into those beam robtics websites, and i think its awesome
that a roboticist can get :inspiration: from insects, and
stuff that normally gets squished when we se them.
NEXT PROJECT: line follower,(could use already
finished :herbie:(i call him :firefly:,though) or some kind
of sumo(with not so complicated touch switches and things
like that, b/c i don't have the budget for a BASIC kit)

Does anyone know where to find the chip used on beam robots
without having to go through an online store? possibly
electronic device hacks(vcrs, tvs, stereos?)maybe? and
also, where can i find motors with good speed, but higher
torque, without having to buy expensive rare-earth magnets?
ANY information on hacks, or free stuff websites, or even,
dumpster diving, would b greatly used and appreciated...
